Hi Deidre

Yes, but the "23" was part of the UK national lottery results which
were used as part of the input data for the software that made the
selection among the 26 volunteers. (As announced in advance, this
selection has been carried out by means of the reference program
code "Publicly Verifiable Random Selection" from RFC 3797 [1], as
downloaded from [2]. The file pvrs-0.3.tgz has SHA-1 hash [3]
bf68909204174dbb3a9b76b3fc6392b6576fb5f1.)

[2] http://www.malcolm.id.au/files/software/unix/pvrs/pvrs-0.3.tgz
[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1

The output of the program did not include "23", but it included "20",
which is your number.

So, congratulations are due to you. :-)

Greetings,
Norbert
